Ranking Every NBA Team’s Starting 5 · Kenny For Real

0:00
Speaker 1: So br put together an article where the ranking every
0:02
Speaker 1: start of five going into the next season. Obviously, Lebron
0:04
Speaker 1: James should sound with the seventy six ers, and based
0:07
Speaker 1: on the way it's framed, we know that they're gonna
0:09
Speaker 1: be number one. But I saw a lot of people
0:12
Speaker 1: saying that this is elite level rage bait by Bleach Report.
0:15
Speaker 1: I don't really know what the context of that is,
0:17
Speaker 1: but I'm so here to figure it out. So LEA
0:19
Speaker 1: would like to describe. Let's dap into this. This fit
0:20
Speaker 1: is watch You by SIGGI hit the linkud descripture, use
0:22
Speaker 1: KFR ten to get timpersent off your purchase of tickets.
0:24
Speaker 1: Sigi tech takes me all of it in that put
0:26
Speaker 1: him at once to this location for you. I almost
0:28
Speaker 1: use it for sporting events, but they got concerts, comedy,
0:30
Speaker 1: Broadway festivals. You gotta check out seek first if you
0:32
Speaker 1: need tickets, because it is the easiest way to find them.
0:35
Speaker 1: Let me show you how easy it truly is. I'm
0:38
Speaker 1: gonna be in LA and I have not seen a
0:40
Speaker 1: Dodge or game live. So let's say I want to
0:42
Speaker 1: watch Mariners at Dodgers. Give me two tickets. You gonna
0:44
Speaker 1: see the venue a bunch of dosagreen dot. But the
0:46
Speaker 1: deal I like to keep it sorted by deal score,
0:48
Speaker 1: and the best deal is section eight FD right here.
0:52
Speaker 2: Ten out of ten. You see the view, holda on.
0:55
Speaker 2: Not only is it a nice little view, you got
0:57
Speaker 2: the stadium club too, oh gg ggez. But let's say
1:01
Speaker 2: you a big ball. He would just want the best
1:03
Speaker 2: seats regardless. You can sit section three dg Road double A.
1:08
Speaker 2: And it's also got some who got the dugout club?
1:12
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that? Sous? Is that what I think
1:15
Speaker 1: of it?
1:15
Speaker 3: Oh?
1:16
Speaker 1: No, the macaroons and stuff. Oh you gotta lock in.
1:18
Speaker 1: And just like that, I got my tickets to watch
1:21
Speaker 1: the La Dodgers. Man, you should have hit that Lincoln
1:23
Speaker 1: the skeption used. Go kfar, tend to get templeson off
1:25
Speaker 1: your person ticket seek again, shout to seek for sponsoring
1:27
Speaker 1: another video. Yeah, I mean the profile picture is this?
1:30
Speaker 1: The title is Lebron James Simuel Philly. All odds are
1:33
Speaker 1: that they have them as the number one starting five
1:35
Speaker 1: in e laitue. Let's see the rest. The worst start
1:38
Speaker 1: of five in the NBA, according to bleacher Port, is
1:40
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. Now do you want to say maybe
1:42
Speaker 1: it's just because I'm deprived of NBA hoops over the
1:44
Speaker 1: last have a many weeks. I feel like every lineup
1:48
Speaker 1: is gonna have its charm, you know what I mean?
1:50
Speaker 1: Ryan Rollins was really good last season. Tyler Herrold got
1:53
Speaker 1: an extra chip on his shoulder. How many hockey as
1:54
Speaker 1: is doing? How many hockey as stuff? Kyle Coolesman was
1:57
Speaker 1: getting caught doing AI tweets, and Miles Turner can't be
2:02
Speaker 1: much worse than what he was last year. There's intrigue here.
2:06
Speaker 1: I like Brandon Berg. Oh wait, this is about the start.
2:08
Speaker 1: It's not the team. This is about the start. It's kinny.
2:10
Speaker 1: Forget about who's coming off the bench, sure and all
2:11
Speaker 1: the younger players. Is just this five man unit, And
2:15
Speaker 1: honestly speaking, it could be worse for the Bucks. Could
2:18
Speaker 1: be worse for the Bucks. And the reason I say
2:20
Speaker 1: that is I'm thinking about all the times a team
2:23
Speaker 1: has traded away their all time greatest player, one of
2:25
Speaker 1: their all time greatest players, and what that next year's
2:28
Speaker 1: team look like. This is not a good team, don't
2:30
Speaker 1: get me wrong, but there's a level of intrigue on
2:32
Speaker 1: this team that makes me feel better about this team.
2:34
Speaker 1: To let's say like the Calves the year Lebron went
2:37
Speaker 1: to the Miami Heat. You know what I mean. So again,
2:40
Speaker 1: don't think they win a bunch of games, but number
2:42
Speaker 1: thirty sure, Now between it nine of the Brooklyn that's
2:44
Speaker 1: another team was some good intrigue. They got some young
2:45
Speaker 1: players with this backcourt. Younger Demon looked pretty good in
2:48
Speaker 1: summer League, Mike kel Brown Junior was pretty solid. MPJ
2:51
Speaker 1: had a career year. Julius Randall was a floor raised
2:53
Speaker 1: Dayron Start finally gets started minutes after being the greatest
2:56
Speaker 1: rebounder since day Ron Sharp. But twenty nine makes some
2:59
Speaker 1: sense to me. I think this could be a I
3:00
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't want to give win numbers out.
3:02
Speaker 1: That feels weird. Next we got the Sacramento Kings. Okay,
3:06
Speaker 1: Darius a Cuff, Zach Levine, DeAndre Hunter, Kicky Murray.
3:10
Speaker 3: And suppose when you put it like this, no, still
3:13
Speaker 3: not a good team. It's still not a good team. Yeah,
3:16
Speaker 3: this feels about so far. I would say, huh, which
3:20
Speaker 3: of these two teams starting five?
3:21
Speaker 1: But I'd rather have I think I'd rather have the
3:24
Speaker 1: Brooklyn that started five over the Sacramento Kings starting five
3:27
Speaker 1: is that crazy. I mean, it's one spot and it's
3:29
Speaker 1: the bottom three teams in the league. So let's not
3:31
Speaker 1: let me not act like that's blasphemy. But I kind
3:34
Speaker 1: of feel like I would like I like the Brooking
3:36
Speaker 1: Next Star five a little bit more, maybe just because
3:37
Speaker 1: of the the unknown of these two players. Well, like
3:41
Speaker 1: I know these four players, if that makes sense. All right, Next,
3:44
Speaker 1: we got the Memphis Grizzlies. Yo, I am buying all
3:47
Speaker 1: Grizzly stock. I cannot wait to watch this team. I
3:50
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna be very good, but like
3:52
Speaker 1: this started unit looks solid to me. Tad j Rome
3:55
Speaker 1: did play a ton last season, but when he did,
3:56
Speaker 1: players really good. Jayle Well's good, Sedja Coward, Stud camb Boozer,
4:00
Speaker 1: Stud Zach Edie if he could be healthy Stud. I
4:02
Speaker 1: like this team. Then they got Pillays off the bench.
4:04
Speaker 1: I know this is not but the bench, but I
4:05
Speaker 1: just want to talk about the miss Grizzlies of Jeremy Grant,
4:08
Speaker 1: Isaiah Stewart. I feel like I'm forgetting a Scotti Pippen Junior.
4:10
Speaker 1: I feel like forgetting about a good amount of people,
4:12
Speaker 1: but solid enough roster will make me feel like twenty
4:15
Speaker 1: seven fields low, who's twenty six the shit, the the
4:20
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls, Josh Kiddy, Norman Power Might as well as
4:23
Speaker 1: Caleb Wilson, and of course Nicholas Claxton. Yeah. Man, we
4:27
Speaker 1: got basically a new start in five, which is so fun,
4:29
Speaker 1: so interesting. Norman pal is gonna take every shot. Uh.
4:34
Speaker 1: End of sentence. I think I think it's just the
4:35
Speaker 1: end of the sentence. I think they're gonna be a
4:38
Speaker 1: fun team. I think they'n be a very good team.
4:39
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a bunch of highlights between a lot
4:41
Speaker 1: of these guys were on the floor. I can't wait
4:43
Speaker 1: to watch some play. But twenty six field solid, who's
4:46
Speaker 1: above them? Charlotte? Oh wow? Now okay, wait, wait, wait
4:50
Speaker 1: one step at a time. This would be a huge
4:52
Speaker 1: fall off, especially considering if they would have ran back
4:55
Speaker 1: the team that they had, which is LaMelo, Cohn, b Mills, Miles,
4:59
Speaker 1: Bridges and Moss to diabate. Just based on the stats,
5:02
Speaker 1: it was one of the best starting fives in the league.
5:04
Speaker 1: But now when you replace you know, LaMelo with Kobe whyde,
5:06
Speaker 1: you replace Miles Bridges with nas Reed and so on,
5:09
Speaker 1: it does fall off a little bit. This still feels
5:11
Speaker 1: pretty low. But it is a level of unknown here
5:14
Speaker 1: compared to last season that I can't really fault them
5:16
Speaker 1: too much. It is better than the Bulls, it is
5:18
Speaker 1: better than the Grizzlies and every team beneath it. But
5:21
Speaker 1: who's the team right above them? The Clips? Interesting? Which
5:27
Speaker 1: started unit? Would you rather have? Now? There's two all
5:31
Speaker 1: Star caliber players here with Brandon Ingram and Darius Garland.
5:36
Speaker 1: It's been a little mined for Dere's carl but Brandon
5:37
Speaker 1: Ingram literally wasn't All Star just last season. Again, we're
5:40
Speaker 1: assuming that that trade does go through Brook Lopez. I
5:42
Speaker 1: don't know how much longer he can be a starting
5:44
Speaker 1: level player I'd rather be. Would I'd rather have this
5:46
Speaker 1: starting five? Think? I might rather have the Charlotte Hornets
5:49
Speaker 1: starting five? No, I'm tripping right now, I'm am I tripping?
5:53
Speaker 1: Oh if I tripping for? I don't know, Bro, I
5:55
Speaker 1: don't know interesting? Okay, So they got Kyrie, Max, Christie,
5:59
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag, PJ Washington, Derek Lively the second shout out
6:03
Speaker 1: to Derek Live and hopefully he's ready by the time
6:05
Speaker 1: the season starts see Clippers And then I mean Cooper
6:10
Speaker 1: Flag is a stud I think That's what it boils
6:12
Speaker 1: down to. Kyrie Irv's coming off the ACL so we'll
6:14
Speaker 1: see what he looks like. But Kyrie Irvis stood Derek
6:17
Speaker 1: Lively coming off the big Foot injury. So like it's
6:19
Speaker 1: it's some question marks that started lining up based off
6:21
Speaker 1: coming off injuries. How they look immediately after next week
6:25
Speaker 1: got the wow, I'm actually surprised if the Wizard is low,
6:29
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised the Wizards is low. Because while I'm
6:31
Speaker 1: not a guy that's gonna act like the Wizards are
6:33
Speaker 1: guaranteed top six seed, I think this projected started unit
6:37
Speaker 1: should be pretty good. You know, Trey Young is an
6:41
Speaker 1: engine of offense to himself. And again I don't I
6:43
Speaker 1: don't know how much they're quating for injury risking all this. Again,
6:46
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the starting unit in the solf.
6:48
Speaker 1: You may say Kenny Andy David was gonna play thirty
6:50
Speaker 1: eight games. I don't care about that right now. It's
6:52
Speaker 1: just just looking at the unit that I see in
6:54
Speaker 1: front of me. This is a competent, good unit. You
6:56
Speaker 1: may say they may lack some catch and shoot. You know,
6:58
Speaker 1: we gotta see what a j Devons jumpsut looks like.
7:01
Speaker 1: At the next level. Keishawn George can be hit or miss,
7:04
Speaker 1: But like I think this team, this unit, this five
7:07
Speaker 1: man unit, it's pretty solid. The front court defensively, like
7:12
Speaker 1: Alex saw eye test defensively is so much better than
7:14
Speaker 1: what the statistics say in my personal opinion. But if
7:16
Speaker 1: you got him and Anthony Davis together, that seems solid.
7:19
Speaker 1: Even if Anthony Davis is on the second part of
7:22
Speaker 1: his career. I like, I don't know who's right above
7:24
Speaker 1: them the I like the Wizard starting unit more than
7:29
Speaker 1: I like the Pelicans start unit, and the Pelicans always
7:31
Speaker 1: make jokes about the Pelicans. They have good NBA players,
7:34
Speaker 1: but for whatever reason, none really works out. Based on
7:38
Speaker 1: last season, this is just you know, rookie dear Queen,
7:41
Speaker 1: so I don't want to look too much into it,
7:42
Speaker 1: but these two guys just struggled to play together that own.
7:45
Speaker 1: Their numbers together were awful. I just don't know how
7:48
Speaker 1: much burn they can really have of that. I don't
7:50
Speaker 1: know if that's just your two progression for Derek Queen
7:53
Speaker 1: to make it look better. But like all five of
7:55
Speaker 1: these players, I actually really like, but it's just something
7:58
Speaker 1: about them playing together that it's there's a struggle and
8:00
Speaker 1: then you got jeremih Fears, Like I feel like he
8:02
Speaker 1: should be a starter, but it's like for who who's
8:04
Speaker 1: Who's coming up to Vince. You need herbs defense, you
8:06
Speaker 1: need Stray Murphy Shooter, you need the giante as a playman.
8:08
Speaker 1: You need Zion is of course being Zion, and you
8:10
Speaker 1: need the size of Derrick Queen, even if, like people
8:14
Speaker 1: in New Orleans don't even believe that Derek Queen is
8:15
Speaker 1: a true center, you know, so I think I would
8:19
Speaker 1: rather have that wizard starting unit over this started unit,
8:21
Speaker 1: even though like the ceiling of this unit seems crazy
8:24
Speaker 1: if you can get a peak Zion. But like Zion
8:26
Speaker 1: played one of his most amount of games last season
8:30
Speaker 1: and he was really good, but he still couldn't turn
8:32
Speaker 1: what that Pelicans team was doing around, even though he
8:34
Speaker 1: did have a surgence, a resurgence at the end of
8:37
Speaker 1: last season. The Suns at twenty actually like the Sun's unit.
8:42
Speaker 1: I still don't like the trade in the vacuum. You know,
8:44
Speaker 1: them acquire mouse Bridges considering what they gave up for him,
8:47
Speaker 1: and I'm just not a mouse Bridges guy. Front to front,
8:50
Speaker 1: uh to end. But I think the start unit is competent.
8:53
Speaker 1: I think it makes sense on paper. I think it
8:54
Speaker 1: makes sense and practicality. So twenty seems kind of low.
9:00
Speaker 1: The Warriors, I that feels kind of high. Let's let's
9:04
Speaker 1: let's focus on the Suns here. Though Jayalen green Bareley
9:07
Speaker 1: played last season, it feels like Dylan Brooks was really
9:10
Speaker 1: good until he broke his hand and all. I like
9:11
Speaker 1: this unit? Do I like this Wizard's unit more than that?
9:14
Speaker 1: You see? I'm trying to figure out where do I
9:16
Speaker 1: want the Wizards to be? I like the Wizards more
9:17
Speaker 1: than the Pelicans start unit. Do I like the more
9:19
Speaker 1: than the sun start unit? Probably not? Probably not. There's
9:23
Speaker 1: really there's there's like real real vets here. These are
9:27
Speaker 1: these are guys that know how to win regular season
9:29
Speaker 1: games between book you know, Dylan Brooks and so on.
9:31
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with them being there. I don't know, man,
9:36
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe maybe I'm just turned off by
9:38
Speaker 1: the lack of movement for the Warriors and then putting
9:41
Speaker 1: all their eggs in the Lebron basket. But I just
9:44
Speaker 1: don't love this this starting unit. I just don't love
9:47
Speaker 1: this starting unit. I actually surprised I got Yaks at
9:50
Speaker 1: the five that the three here, I just don't know
9:52
Speaker 1: who I would have other than him, So I guess
9:53
Speaker 1: it is because most mood's gonna miss, if not the
9:56
Speaker 1: entire season or the Majoritan season, save them with Jimmy Butler,
9:59
Speaker 1: I mean, step Curry's carrying the load here crazily. I
10:03
Speaker 1: mean Porgingis is good when he plays, But I just
10:05
Speaker 1: I don't love this five man unit. Man, I don't
10:07
Speaker 1: love it. And hopefully they prove me wrong, but this
10:09
Speaker 1: feels really this feels pretty high. That feels pretty and
10:12
Speaker 1: it's only nineteen it's only nineteen guiney, but this feels
10:14
Speaker 1: pretty high. I'm I'm not a big fan of what
10:16
Speaker 1: this Warriors team going into the season next week got
10:19
Speaker 1: there Letto Magic, It's a really nice, competent lineup, you know,
10:23
Speaker 1: dezen Vain, especially after what the first ten or fifteen
10:25
Speaker 1: games was amazing. Just maybe one of them, the radar Jalen
10:28
Speaker 1: Suggs struggles to stay healthy, but he's a nice engine.
10:31
Speaker 1: Palo in France, it feels like, okay, spot for them,
10:34
Speaker 1: let's s who's one spot above them? The Blazers JA,
10:37
Speaker 1: oh my god, dude, Jah dame backcourt Bro Toumani and
10:42
Speaker 1: cleaning Bro. Y'all got a step the hell up defensively.
10:44
Speaker 1: If that's gonna be our backcourt, dog, I mean it's
10:47
Speaker 1: gonna It's gonna produce a lot of moments, a lot
10:49
Speaker 1: of highlights. It's gonna be fun for sure. Denny coming
10:52
Speaker 1: off the All Star I like that unit or Orlando
10:57
Speaker 1: unit more just I don't know. I guess that's just
10:59
Speaker 1: it's do you think about I'm thinking about a lot
11:01
Speaker 1: of these players coming off these major injuries, from from
11:03
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irvan to Derek Lively to like now we're talking
11:06
Speaker 1: about Damian Lillard, and I'm always just a little bit
11:09
Speaker 1: skeptical of what they're gonna look like, especially early into
11:11
Speaker 1: the season. But I can't wait to watch them play.
11:15
Speaker 1: You know, they got an interim coach. I'm gonna call
11:17
Speaker 1: him that until he gets a more than one year deal.
11:20
Speaker 1: Then we get the LA Lakers at sixteen, Luca Austin, Reeves,
11:24
Speaker 1: Q Grimes, Mamu and Walker Kessler. Huh am, I am
11:32
Speaker 1: I crazy to say that Luca Dahnis and himself makes
11:35
Speaker 1: this team higher, even if I don't love the full
11:38
Speaker 1: started unit. They got seventy seven on the team. Who's
11:41
Speaker 1: right above them the Utah I think, okay, as a collection,
11:46
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz starting to five is better, But seventy
11:49
Speaker 1: seven by himself makes me want to put them higher. Gag,
11:52
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie to you. This seventy seven by
11:54
Speaker 1: himself makes me want to put them higher. I do,
11:57
Speaker 1: I do think they're gonna struggle defensively, and Walker Kesler's
11:59
Speaker 1: gonna have the Harry's a lot. Quinin Grives got to
12:02
Speaker 1: really truly locky and as a point of attack defender
12:04
Speaker 1: of six y four, and then mom Moves got to
12:05
Speaker 1: have the type of season that he had last year
12:07
Speaker 1: in Toronto. But seventy seven is on the team and
12:10
Speaker 1: he's healthy, and that's enough for me, for me, just
12:12
Speaker 1: for me, that's enough for me. And then you did
12:14
Speaker 1: see fift teams of Utah Jazz. I cannot wait to
12:16
Speaker 1: see them play. Was really impressed with some of the
12:19
Speaker 1: Darren Peterson's summer league, especially when he got to Vegas,
12:22
Speaker 1: wasn't the greatest, but there was a small nugget here
12:24
Speaker 1: there that you could really take away, Like, Okay, I
12:26
Speaker 1: already questioned what the play making look like on this team?
12:29
Speaker 1: A huge pression on Kante George and Isaiah Cole you
12:31
Speaker 1: come off the bench. I was really impressed with some
12:33
Speaker 1: of the Darren Peterson pass and so I'm maybe less
12:35
Speaker 1: worried about that for the Jazz today use of Nurkis
12:38
Speaker 1: truly is a starring center and he actually was good
12:40
Speaker 1: for them. After we talked trash about him on the podcast,
12:42
Speaker 1: he had a month straight. It was like, oh my god,
12:43
Speaker 1: he's putting up these type of numbers and he's passing
12:46
Speaker 1: very well as like a hub, and he helps with
12:48
Speaker 1: the playmaking as well. I don't know what to expecting
12:52
Speaker 1: them defensively, jering of course the former DPO why But
12:54
Speaker 1: I just don't know how much I expect, you know,
12:57
Speaker 1: Kyante and Lowry Market and Uston Nurkis to really hop
12:59
Speaker 1: out there. I think Darren Peterson is gonna fight a
13:01
Speaker 1: lot defensively, but he is going to be a rookie
13:03
Speaker 1: defensive player, and very rarely do a rookie defensive player
13:05
Speaker 1: come in and be a plus defensive player. The Miami
13:09
Speaker 1: Heat are number fourteen, whoa, So the Utah Jazz are
13:13
Speaker 1: squitched between the Lakers and the Heat. So it's Daveyon,
13:18
Speaker 1: Tim Hardaway Junior. Okay, I'm would I would expect to
13:20
Speaker 1: be Pelee Larson, but maybe I'm wrong there. I just
13:22
Speaker 1: feel like Tim Hardaway Jui is just primed to be
13:24
Speaker 1: a six man for the rest of his career. Wiggs,
13:27
Speaker 1: Yan and Bam Like, yeah, the fit might not be great.
13:30
Speaker 1: They may not have a ton ouse that shooting. Maybe
13:31
Speaker 1: that's why they they are put in Tim Hardaway Junior
13:33
Speaker 1: in that line up strictly for the shooting. But these
13:36
Speaker 1: two guys are enough to make me feel like the
13:38
Speaker 1: start lineup is more than what it is. Who's right
13:40
Speaker 1: above them Detroit. Oh, it still feels low. It still
13:43
Speaker 1: feels low to have a team with Gianni's at Bam
13:45
Speaker 1: on it. Like, you know what I'm saying, I stick,
13:47
Speaker 1: I still think that Giannis is going to be forced.
13:48
Speaker 1: I still think Bam is, you know, one of the
13:50
Speaker 1: best defensive players in the world still, and now he's
13:52
Speaker 1: got Gianni's like this this unit defensively figuring about who's
13:55
Speaker 1: starting at the two or whatever, this is like bona
13:58
Speaker 1: fide top whatever. Defensively in the off it is gonna
14:00
Speaker 1: be at least solid enough because they got Giannis on
14:02
Speaker 1: the team. Even if the fit might be a little weird.
14:04
Speaker 1: Then we do get the Pistons who were Yeah, we
14:07
Speaker 1: should write in Jayalen Durham because I don't know. Obviously,
14:09
Speaker 1: I don't know everything, but it just feels like Jaylen
14:11
Speaker 1: Duram will be back on the team via restricted free
14:13
Speaker 1: agency or qualifying golfer. I just don't know what to
14:16
Speaker 1: think about the John Collins pick up. I mentioned that
14:17
Speaker 1: when he first signed there. Actually I don't think the
14:20
Speaker 1: video came out. I don't know what to feel about
14:22
Speaker 1: it just yet. I gotta I gotta see it in practice.
14:24
Speaker 1: KD the Sar and Duncan. I liked them as a
14:26
Speaker 1: top three in Jaylen Durham, but like, I don't know Toby.
14:30
Speaker 1: Toby added like Toby of course is ups and downs
14:33
Speaker 1: as a and every team has been a part of
14:35
Speaker 1: I feel like there's months or fan bases absolutely hate him.
14:37
Speaker 1: There's months where he was the king and that was
14:39
Speaker 1: like in that post, he is a wrong. He had
14:41
Speaker 1: multiple twenty point games in a row. But one thing
14:43
Speaker 1: he did provide with some off the bounce creation that
14:45
Speaker 1: they desperately needed. I look at this line and and say, God, Lee,
14:48
Speaker 1: who is creating for themselves outside of mister cad conn
14:51
Speaker 1: of him, and it's a it's a whoa. I believe
14:57
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves are way lord than they should. I think
15:01
Speaker 1: that this whoa. I'm again just looking at five man units.
15:05
Speaker 1: I don't think there's eleven five man units that are
15:07
Speaker 1: better than this one. I think they got now. Yeah,
15:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, bro, I don't know. I've got to
15:12
Speaker 1: see it. We gotta see it. Maybe this is my
15:14
Speaker 1: TikTok brain and Twitter brain looking at this back court
15:16
Speaker 1: and saying they gonna make it work. But ridygober A
15:18
Speaker 1: is still one of the best defense players in the world.
15:20
Speaker 1: Jaya mcdange's still one of the best defense players in
15:21
Speaker 1: the world. I would assume it was a decent enough
15:23
Speaker 1: defender Anthony Iris when you wants to be a good
15:25
Speaker 1: defensive player and the LaMelo ball like Anthony Avers got
15:28
Speaker 1: a point guard for the first time in Favenough. Dispect
15:30
Speaker 1: uncle Mike Carley. This is not the twelfth best starting
15:33
Speaker 1: lineup in the league. I'm sorry. Who's right above them?
15:36
Speaker 1: The Seas? Who's right above them? Oh ooh ooh No.
15:40
Speaker 1: I still I still think Minnesota's way too low. The
15:43
Speaker 1: Seas are number eleven, though Peyton, Pritchard, dereg Why, Paul George,
15:46
Speaker 1: Jason Tata, minch Rops is a very good lineup. Don't
15:48
Speaker 1: get me wrong, it's a very good lineup. I do
15:51
Speaker 1: feel good. I do feel I don't know. I look
15:54
Speaker 1: at this lineup and say, yeah, that's a good lineup.
15:56
Speaker 1: But I'm way more comfortable saying that the Celts is
15:58
Speaker 1: gonna win more games than the World Wolves. But somehow
16:01
Speaker 1: I still want to say the Wolves has a better
16:03
Speaker 1: five man lineup. Does that make any sense to anybody?
16:05
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just this's my first time seeing
16:06
Speaker 1: this article. I don't know. Yeah, everybody's made the point
16:10
Speaker 1: after the last month of the Jaylen Brown trade that
16:12
Speaker 1: Paul George is a fit next to a Tatum and
16:14
Speaker 1: a White and Pretcher and makes a ton of sense.
16:17
Speaker 1: And they got a true center that can add some
16:19
Speaker 1: extra possessions to Mitchell Robson if he can just stay
16:21
Speaker 1: healthy for an entire season. So it's a very good
16:24
Speaker 1: five man unit. Do not get me wrong, But I
16:26
Speaker 1: think again, I think that the Celtics might win more
16:30
Speaker 1: regular season games. But for whatever reason, I look at
16:32
Speaker 1: this five man unit in Minnesota and say that's a
16:34
Speaker 1: better five man unit, like obviously you got the system
16:37
Speaker 1: that you don't need the question. Even with the acquisition
16:39
Speaker 1: of Mitchell Robson and Paul George, those guys are gonna
16:41
Speaker 1: fit like a glove in Joe Missoula system. And maybe
16:44
Speaker 1: you can argue, you know, it might take some time
16:46
Speaker 1: for LaMelo ball to get acclimated to being in Minnesota
16:48
Speaker 1: and playing with these new teammates whatever. And I don't
16:51
Speaker 1: know if you can you need an acclamation period for
16:53
Speaker 1: Paul George. W He's gonna slot right now in on
16:55
Speaker 1: Mitche Robbins. There's gonna add extra possessions. But I think
16:58
Speaker 1: I like that five man unit. Moore. I don't know.
16:59
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm trure, maybe I'm true. All right, next we
17:01
Speaker 1: got the ten team, which is the Toronto Raptors manual
17:04
Speaker 1: quickly r J. Berry, Kawhalin and Scotti Barnes and Yaka Pearle.
17:07
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for their said, Yakapurlo has a nice little
17:09
Speaker 1: bounce back. Last year was a tougher season for him.
17:11
Speaker 1: The year before that he was really good. But him
17:14
Speaker 1: his screen setting is gonna be important on his team.
17:16
Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes now doesn't have to worry about being a
17:19
Speaker 1: true one, a offensive player while he could still do
17:21
Speaker 1: all the other stuff defensively and still be I don't know,
17:24
Speaker 1: one of the best glue guys offensively that can also
17:26
Speaker 1: still give you X amount of points. It's it's a
17:28
Speaker 1: really good unit. It's a really good unit. I'm not
17:30
Speaker 1: mad at them being number ten. Then we got the
17:33
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets. Freddie is back, I'm and Thompson, Kevin Durant,
17:38
Speaker 1: Bari and Alprin Shinngoon. Yeah, that's a good unit. It's
17:42
Speaker 1: a good unit. Man again, Freddie coming off that major injury.
17:45
Speaker 1: Shout out to my boy fred Fred. I don't know.
17:49
Speaker 1: I'm still looking at number twelve on his list of
17:51
Speaker 1: Minnesota and being like, I think I like that Minnesota
17:54
Speaker 1: unit maybe more than this one. Maybe fred vlibin the
17:57
Speaker 1: Star a lot changes everything after last season being I
18:00
Speaker 1: would say mostly disappointed, especially when you get to Postseason'll
18:03
Speaker 1: get me wrong. Kevin remis all that time in the
18:05
Speaker 1: postseason and then they lost to Lebron and others. Number
18:09
Speaker 1: eight Atlanta Hawks. Wow, I really like the Atlanta Hawks
18:16
Speaker 1: unit season. McCullum, ni Kayazena Walker, Dyson Daniels Jalen Johnson, Yakakago.
18:22
Speaker 1: It still feels high to have them as the eighth
18:24
Speaker 1: best starting unit in the league. I can't be the
18:26
Speaker 1: only one to think that, right, good team, really good team.
18:28
Speaker 1: I love their offseason actually, between Kingston Flemings being drafted
18:31
Speaker 1: there shout out to my guy, between getting in On
18:34
Speaker 1: lou Dorp for the price of a former first of
18:36
Speaker 1: roll pick, from getting Aaron Wiggins, like, they've had a
18:38
Speaker 1: really good offseason as a whole. Resigned season mcum on
18:41
Speaker 1: a one year deal. I don't think this five man
18:45
Speaker 1: unit is better than some of the ones right beneath it.
18:47
Speaker 1: It's a good unit. It's a really good unit. In hell,
18:50
Speaker 1: this unit was one of what fifteen sixteen straight games
18:53
Speaker 1: last season? Right? What was that? What did that number
18:55
Speaker 1: end up in? And it is a really good unit.
18:56
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the sixth or eighth best
18:59
Speaker 1: starting unit in the league next season though, calves at
19:02
Speaker 1: number seven, okay, James Hardy, Yeah, we can pencil him in.
19:05
Speaker 1: I just I just feel like he's gonna be back.
19:07
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchew, Max Strews, Evan Mobley, Jared Allen. It's a
19:10
Speaker 1: really good unit, you know, it to be that way,
19:13
Speaker 1: especially with a full offseason now and after James Harden,
19:15
Speaker 1: it should be better than a unit than it was
19:17
Speaker 1: last season. I'm not mad at them being at number seven,
19:20
Speaker 1: number six. This is low for a team that was
19:23
Speaker 1: just in the finals. I actually surprising. Ain't got told
19:26
Speaker 1: be in the starn unit. I guess that's a coaching decision.
19:30
Speaker 1: Dr fox A podcast will never say, of course, women Yama.
19:32
Speaker 1: They got champion here. I think this is better than
19:34
Speaker 1: the six best starting union in the league. They got
19:36
Speaker 1: women Yama full style like that. That guy's that he's
19:40
Speaker 1: literally a Cheico, he's an own off Chico and when
19:41
Speaker 1: he's on with his unit, that unit is disgusting. Who's
19:44
Speaker 1: right above them? Denver? Is Is this safe to say that? Again?
19:49
Speaker 1: Just looking at the units, the five man units, that
19:51
Speaker 1: this Spurs unit is now better than what this Nuggets unit.
19:54
Speaker 1: But I don't know, because when Aaron Gordon did play,
19:56
Speaker 1: this team is fucking amazing still, but he just didn't play.
19:58
Speaker 1: He just didn't play. And it's like year four and
20:00
Speaker 1: three in a row. He just didn't play when it mattered.
20:03
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, this is dangerously low for a
20:05
Speaker 1: team coming off an NBA Finals appearance dangerously low right,
20:09
Speaker 1: hopefully get the seed. These two teams going against each
20:11
Speaker 1: other in the postseason, they will really get a feel
20:12
Speaker 1: for number four Indiana Pacers. Wow. I like that Pacer
20:17
Speaker 1: fans have this chip on their shoulder after you know,
20:20
Speaker 1: being forgotten about if you will. I saw a tweet
20:22
Speaker 1: earlier that was like the betting odds, not that you
20:24
Speaker 1: not that you should care about the bet nots necessarily,
20:27
Speaker 1: but they were like, you know, like seventh. I think
20:29
Speaker 1: and winning the Eastern Conference is dangerously low for a
20:32
Speaker 1: team that did win the Eastern Conference two years ago.
20:35
Speaker 1: I think the Spurs starting union is better than the
20:37
Speaker 1: starting union. I think the Spurs start union is better
20:39
Speaker 1: than Indiana Pacers starting union. Love the Pacers team, though
20:42
Speaker 1: Zoo hopefully goes back to all NBA third team kind
20:44
Speaker 1: of guy. Pascalis is consistent. It could be. Y'all know
20:47
Speaker 1: Halle is an absolute dog. The spent like, guess it's
20:50
Speaker 1: a really good unit. Do not get me wrong, but
20:52
Speaker 1: I think the Spurs coming off that championship appearance and
20:54
Speaker 1: what stefoncast was able to do, even Deer FOXU was
20:57
Speaker 1: terrible in the postseason. It feels like I still think
20:59
Speaker 1: I like that unit more than I like the Indiana
21:02
Speaker 1: Pacer one. Then we got the New York Knicks at three.
21:04
Speaker 1: Who's at leave? Who's left? Okay? See in Philly? Okay,
21:08
Speaker 1: I'm like, who could be? Okay, see if in what order?
21:10
Speaker 1: Now we know the Phillies number one, they would the
21:12
Speaker 1: thumbnailed video Bronson. Oh, it's the first time I've seen
21:16
Speaker 1: Josh Harle listed at like A two. I guess it
21:18
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that just looks ill the championship team, damnit
21:23
Speaker 1: show some respect. And then okay, see starting unit is
21:27
Speaker 1: still nuts though, yeah, I do have the okay see
21:29
Speaker 1: staring unit over New York Knicks starting unit. And then
21:32
Speaker 1: lastly they do have this seventy six or one, which
21:34
Speaker 1: is like, you don't know, but like just based on
21:37
Speaker 1: the paper, based on the talent, yeah you can it
21:39
Speaker 1: is the best starting unit, even if it may not
21:42
Speaker 1: mesh perfectly. But like again, based on what we see,
21:44
Speaker 1: which is all NBA, all NBA, all NBA, all NBA,
21:48
Speaker 1: and then Rookie of the Year third place, I think
21:50
Speaker 1: he was and VJ. Yes, it's the it's the best
21:53
Speaker 1: starting unit as of today. Was that pure raids that y'all.
21:57
Speaker 1: Let me know, man, some team's dangerously low. I would say,
22:00
Speaker 1: but it's the off season. Man. You gotta think about
22:02
Speaker 1: it from the perspective of the publication. Nobody clicking on
22:05
Speaker 1: NBA articles. You got you, you gotta, you gotta clickbait
22:07
Speaker 1: just a little bit, right. Is it a good practice?
22:09
Speaker 1: Probably not, but that's what they're doing.
